Setting up my new Fluval Edge 6 gallon tank. It is the newer version (Fluval Edge II ) with 18 LED lights with 7600K high luminosity and 3 blue LED for night. I used Seachem red Flourite gravel as substrate and flat red stone pieces to create the terraces. I used some plants out of my other tank that has low light (1.3 watt/gallon) so these plants will probably do good: Mayaca fluviatilis, Rotala indica, Hygrophila polysperma. I also bought two Java Ferns for the back corners which don't receive much light. I bought a Cryptocoryne spiralis and planted it in the center so it will receive more light. Also planted two small Cryptocoryne wendtii bronze plants right under the light. They melted back in my other tank so maybe they will do better in this lighting. Added some plant fertilizer and fish tank water. To cycle the tank I am going to drop in a small media bag filled with gravel from my established tank so good bacteria will grow. I can remove the bag after a while.
